13 previous owners
Hi there,
Been away, not had a bike but now thinking about getting one. Only a small one to commute once a week but the one I have found has 13 previous owners. http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-m...-ovno/79044480 I have done the checks and they are all good. Just a mad number of previous owners - is it worth looking at?

Re: 13 previous owners

Re: 13 previous owners
Agree with DB, I only had my 125 for 4 months before passing it on when I got my full license.
Id say the condition of the bike was the most important thing. |

Re: 13 previous owners
Think I agree and will take a look. I had my 125 for all of 7 months I suppose. Cheers.

Re: 13 previous owners
More worth thinking about is the fact that traillies and 125s are both twoc magnets so inspect carefully

Re: 13 previous owners
For the same sort of money you could get a proper bike like an sv.Still good for your commute but go anywhere as well.

Re: 13 previous owners
For a start, it's too expensive for what it is.
You have to be very careful buying that model of XR125...especially from the London area. A lot of XR125s' in London have a good chance of having been couriered to an inch of their life....might be where the huge number comes from
